Demonstrations, intelligence indicating that Russia intentionally influenced the election towards Trump, a fight with a Broadway musical, Twitter feuds with Alec Baldwin, SNL, NBC, CNN, and a union representative (the last of which resulted in death threats for the rep), a strategist with ties to right-wing extremists and Neo-Nazis, figures in his own party openly breaking ranks against him, extra money being spent to keep his family safe because they want to stay in New York, cabinet appointees who seem to want to destroy the very department they head, a National Security advisor who promulgates outlandish conspiracy theories, ratcheting up military and diplomatic tensions with China, a proposed Secretary of State so close to the Russians that he faintly smells of borscht and vodka, and so much more...and it's been just a bit over a month. Imagine what the next four years have in store for us.

Join in! Let's start by talking about the hacking scandal discussed at length in the last thread. Just what in the bejabbers is going on here, and will Trump survive unscathed, or will a pall of illegitimacy stick to his Presidency as a result?

Any bets on how long it will take before we hear these words "US president Mike Pence"?

I do not support Donald J. TrumpInverted Flag Law: US Code Title 4 Section 8 Paragraph (a): The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.The United States of America has been in a state of dire distress since November 8, 2016. Flying the flag upside down is not only our right, it is our duty!Make Maine Massachusetts again!

Not yet, but I mean it won't take long once he's in office, so we won't go 4 whole years of MAGAthreads. The man is a walking scandal.

And yet he is going to be President, after this same line being used against him the entire campaign season. The man is Teflon.

Cognitive Dissonance on this point. If no one cares, it doesn't stick. Telfon Don it is.

It certainly does stick, though, given his still dismal approval ratings. He did not get away with everything he did and win the election because most Americans didn't care. He got away with everything and won the election because a relatively small number of Americans in key states felt that Hillary Clinton's actions, both proven and alleged, were worse.

Alright. Let's play a game. List these items in the order that they will cease to exist over the next 4-8 years from first to last. Omit the one you think will not end.

The list for you to order is below. It's in no particular order now.Donald Trump's PresidencyAmerica's <5% unemployment rateThe Affordable Care ActUS Sanctions on RussiaUkraine's sovereigntyNAFTAthe One China PolicyAmerica's 11 million undocumented immigrantsRoe v. Wade

Optional over exaggerated list:Life as we know itPeace between the US and MexicoNations that oppose the Trump/ Putin world orderFreedom of speechAmerica's "71 years without nuking someone" streakAmerica's first world country statusSurviving muslims
